I was really hoping to hear about a deal with ESPN to bring ESPN directly to viewers without a cable subscription.

Bahahaha. That's funny. ESPN's entire business model is based on being just popular enough that any cable company not carrying it would go under so they can demand something on the order of $6.50 per subscriber when the majority of subscribers don't watch ESPN.

If they ever offered an individual subscriber deal they sure as hell wouldn't do it for $6.50 per sub per month.
